Times Of Swaziland: ACCEPT LIFE BEING LIFE ACCEPT LIFE BEING LIFE ================================================================================ The Editor on 17/05/2019 03:41:00 Sir, There is certainly no excuse not to live this uncertain life; for the young or old, rich or poor, employed or unemployed and achievers or non- achievers. We all live; whether things are going good or they are falling apart; whether we have supportive families or we have no one who cares what we are going through; whether you have a loyal, honest and loving boyfriend or a cheat, dishonest and pretending girlfriend; whether you are a dreamer or a failure; and whether you’ve earned people’s respect or their disgrace. Life is just life, we have to live it. cheated This is life, we get played by people we love; cheated by people we trust; betrayed by people we confide in; hurt by people we believe in; abandoned by people we depend on; fooled and manipulated by people we look up to and disrespected by people we care for. Life is just life, let’s live. We are told we can be anything we want; some achieve that perfect life while others become nothing at all, but they all still have to live and just do what is possible. We are told we can go wherever we want, some do while others can’t even make it to the nearest township, and are stuck in the same place their whole life. Make the most of where you are and let this life be what it is. Even if you have nothing, you still have your life, you still have yourself. Don’t let anyone take that away and enjoy it while you still live, and for a moment stop seeking for more. depending Stop expecting too much from people and situations that can only give you as much. Stop depending on people who can walk out on you anytime they like; stop following what people do or how they live, you may never know why they do so nor how it serves them. Stop giving your whole heart to people who can break it anytime they like. In this life, just be you, do your thing your own way and follow your passion. This is your life, it began with you and it will end with you. It doesn’t matter how many friends you have; what kind of family you come from; how your co-workers or schoolmates treat you, this is your life. Accept that there are things you can’t change or shape in this life, they’ll always be or stand as they are. hate Whether you love or hate it; accept that there are people who are going to love you and people who are going to hate you. Accept that sometimes you’ll work hard and do your best but things will still not work out for you. Accept that some people will be happy for your achievements and give you the honour you deserve and that some will do everything possible to stop you from acquiring your ideals or reaching your full potential. Accept that this life is not your friend, it doesn’t love you, it doesn’t care what happens to you and it’ll never try to be fair to you. Expect anything anytime, but work hard, stay true to yourself, appreciate every day and make the most out of it, and keep your eyes on the prize. Brand Shota 25 Zombodze Emuva
